A team of students from DeWitt Perry Middle School in Carrollton earned the top ranking for middle schools and the No. 10 overall rank in a robotics competition at the Global Conference on Educational Robotics (GCER) July 6-10 in Norman, Okla.

DeWitt Perry sent two teams to the conference. Each team built and programmed two robots for the competition, which consisted of moving objects in a playing field according to a set of directions.

Out of 51 competing teams, including high-school teams, DeWitt Perry’s came in No. 10 and No. 37, respectively. The No. 10 group was ranked the highest of 14 middle-school teams.
